Known as “Mama” to all that see her at Cherry Street Taproom, Sibyl Elliott Johnson celebrated her 90th birthday in style. From the Fire Engine, to the Sheriff to County Commissioners, this little lady commanded the stage. Her fun attitude and direct way with words kept all the boys in uniform straight. As a Mom of five (5) boys herself, dealing with the bunch at her birthday was just old hat.
We at Foco Woman and ForsythCounty.com were proud to be included in her celebration. There is so much we can learn from “Mama”. She worked hard, played hard, and with a great sense of humor.
